Some people shun the word "Christmas."
"It sounds like a chant from the past."
The intent was to honor our Savior
With Communion so Easter would last.
Except you do eat of My body,
And drink of My precious blood,
"You have no life in you" really.
To strengthen our faith is its good.
There's no Christmas joy without Easter.
There's no Easter without Friday's pain.
There's no Easter complete without hilltop,
And Ascension our heaven to gain.
We can just celebrate Jesus' birthday
Like shepherds out there on the plain.
But the rest of the story's the best part-
"It is finished," and "He'll come again!"
